2) Configure the network parameters. The default IP address is 192.168.1.xxx
("xxx" is any number from 2 to 254), Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0, and
Gateway is 192.168.1.1 (The Router's default IP address)
¾
Obtain an IP address automatically
1) Set up the TCP/IP Protocol in "Obtain an IP address automatically" mode on your
PC. If you need instructions as to how to do this, please refer to Appendix B:
2) Then the built-in DHCP server will assign IP address for the PC.
Now, you can run the Ping command in the command prompt to verify the network

Appendix D: Glossary
¾
802.11n - 802.11n builds upon previous 802.11 standards by adding MIMO
(multiple-input multiple-output). MIMO uses multiple transmitter and receiver
antennas to allow for increased data throughput via spatial multiplexing and
increased range by exploiting the spatial diversity, perhaps through coding schemes
like Alamouti coding. The Enhanced Wireless Consortium (EWC) was formed to help
accelerate the IEEE 802.11n development process and promote a technology
specification for interoperability of next-generation wireless local area networking
(WLAN) products.
¾
802.11b - The 802.11b standard specifies a wireless networking at 11 Mbps using
direct-sequence spread-spectrum (DSSS) technology and operating in the
unlicensed radio spectrum at 2.4GHz, and WEP encryption for security. 802.11b
networks are also referred to as Wi-Fi networks.
¾
802.11g - specification for wireless networking at 54 Mbps using direct-sequence
spread-spectrum (DSSS) technology, using OFDM modulation and operating in the
unlicensed radio spectrum at 2.4GHz, and backward compatibility with IEEE 802.11b
devices, and WEP encryption for security.
¾
¾
DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name System) - The capability of assigning a fixed host
and domain name to a dynamic Internet IP Address.
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) - A protocol that automatically
configure the TCP/IP parameters for the all the PC(s) that are connected to a DHCP
server.
¾
DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) - A Demilitarized Zone allows one local host to be exposed
to the Internet for a special-purpose service such as Internet gaming or
videoconferencing.
¾
¾
DNS (Domain Name System) – An Internet Service that translates the names of
websites into IP addresses.
Domain Name - A descriptive name for an address or group of addresses on the
Internet.

¾
ISP (Internet Service Provider) - A company that provides access to the Internet.
MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) - The size in bytes of the largest packet that
can be transmitted.

NAT (Network Address Translation) - NAT technology translates IP addresses of a
local area network to a different IP address for the Internet.
PPPoE (Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet) - PPPoE is a protocol for connecting
remote hosts to the Internet over an always-on connection by simulating a dial-up
connection.
¾
SSID - A Service Set Identification is a thirty-two character (maximum) alphanumeric
key identifying a wireless local area network. For the wireless devices in a network to
communicate with each other, all devices must be configured with the same SSID.
This is typically the configuration parameter for a wireless PC card. It corresponds to
the ESSID in the wireless Access Point and to the wireless network name.
¾
¾
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) - A data privacy mechanism based on a 64-bit or
128-bit or 152-bit shared key algorithm, as described in the IEEE 802.11 standard.
Wi-Fi - A trade name for the 802.11b wireless networking standard, given by the
Wireless Ethernet Compatibility Alliance (WECA, see http://www.wi-fi.net), an
industry standards group promoting interoperability among 802.11b devices.
¾
WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) - A group of computers and associated
devices communicate with each other wirelessly, which network serving users are
limited in a local area.
